liam fox.ur political correspondent iain watson is at westminster and has been speaking to labour's chuka umunna. liam fox was talking in japan about the frustration that businesses have felt about the slow progress in the talks with the eu. he said that way of getting rid the tension would be to get on with wider trade talks in brussels. but whether the language he used would achieve that remains to be seen. he suggested the eu could be in effect bar is blackmailing britain. effectively saying, the price you have to pay if an unfairfinancial saying, the price you have to pay if an unfair financial settlement, and unfair divorce bill. joining me now is chuka umunna, who is a labour mp and involved in the open britain pressure group, wanting britain to stay in the single market, he also proposed that britain should stay in the single market in an amendment in the single market in an amendment in the house of commons recently. liam fox is suggesting that britain is being blackmailed by the eu. th

liam fox, it must be said, a key brexit campaigner.h the fact there has been no revelations about what a future deal with the eu would look like. david davis really trying to keep things simple at this point. it has to be said that there has been an impasse in the brexit talks. brussels is very strict, very clear that it sees there has to be progress on the divorce issues, withdrawal issues. eu citizens, the brexit bill being the major sticking point, before a future relationship discussion can even take place. at the press conference yesterday after the press conference yesterday after the third round of talks we saw a bit of despondency perhaps and a bit of exasperation, but certainly things were still civil and diplomatic. i think david davis, things were still civil and diplomatic. ithink david davis, by refusing to be drawn on liam fox's comments intends it to stay that way. next month we have a deadline the eu has set on there being sufficient progress made on these divorce talks, the withdrawal agreement. david davis hopes by th

it accuses the eu of being inflexible, liam fox talks of blackmail.he eu will have to decide whether it thinks ‘sufficient progress‘ has been made to allow the talks to move to the next phase. that‘s not a decision for the eu‘s negotiating team. it will have to be made unanimously by the leaders of the other 27 eu countries who will meet for a summit in brussels on the 19th and 20th of october. by then we‘ll also know whether angela merkel has been re—elected as german chancellor. in elections towards the end of this month. the uk probably shouldn‘t rely on mrs merkel to suddenly change course on brexit though — so how can disputes about money in particular be resolved? a transition period after brexit could be one way forward. it would mean the uk still paying money into the eu budget for a couple of years, and it could help reduce the size of a final bill. course on brexit though — so how can disputes about money in particular be resolved? a transition period after brexit could be one way forward. it would mean the uk still paying money into the eu

inevitably he was asked about the comments from liam fox, where he used the word blackmail.e in a difficult, tough and negotiation. he described this as the first of what could be several ripples. what can be read into that? that is the terminology he used. his whole approach has been diplomatic until now. even after describing the negotiations as tough, the third round. he has kept his cool, talking in quite a measured tones about how progress is going. saying he has not been under any illusions this would be difficult. certainly he refused to get into those comments by liam fox which he did say, the eu was trying to blackmail the uk in terms of paying the divorce bill before it can go onto the next phase of talks about the future relationship. david davis still trying to keep the town measured. it was a little despondent yesterday after those negotiations. no progress had been made on the eu side. david davis trying to calm the situation down, not play up the rhetoric, not express any frustration. at the same time, appearing realistic by saying it will not be an easy ride,

another british minister, liam fox, said the country shouldn't be blackmailed by the eu over the divorcebarnier, the bloc‘s chief negotiatior, expressed frustration at the slow pace of discussions. rachel, you've been writing a lot about europe. are you optimistic, as david davis insists that he still is, despite all of this? no, i am not optimistic. it is not looking good, is it? it's a deadlock and it was to be expected. in terms of the eu blackmailing britain, i mean i would not expect anything other than the eu looking after now it's 27 remaining states. i do not expect it to do anything different, so i think it's a bit ridiculous and certainly, i can understand the frustration of the eu negotiators saying, look, we need to see some paperwork here. something, anything. just give us some indication of where this is going so we can negotiate, so we can start negotiating. what is becoming more and more clearer is how much brexit is really an ideology rather than a deliverable practical reality, but we are where we are, we voted to leave and we have to execute that. i think what is becom

s no surprise there is a bit of rough and tumble at this stage in the talks and it‘s significant liam foxnly not a phrase you can expect the prime minister to be uttering. fresh from his talks in brussels this week, the brexit secretary gave a speech to business leaders in washington today and tried to laugh away his colleague‘s controversial comments. i never comment, i know what you‘re doing, i never comment on other ministers views on these things. look, we are in a difficult, tough, complicated negotiation. i have said from the beginning it will be turbulent. what we‘re having at the moment is the first ripple. and there will be many more ripples along the way. critics here claim liam fox‘s talk of blackmail will only make matters worse. his language is intensely unhelpful. this is sabre rattling from a trade secretary who is twiddling his thumbs. because he can‘t do anything until the trade position of the uk has been resolved with the eu. the prime minister rounded off her trip cheering on the gb wheelchair basketball team. but when it comes to brexit the government is still searchi

liam fox said the uk will not be blackmailed by the eu over its brexit bill in order to start trade talks. the british international trade secretary made the comments in japan where he is traveling with prime minister may this follows a tense end to the third round of brexit talks in brussels we're joined by cnbc's willem marx who is on the ground in brussels good morning people are saying negative noises about how the talks went. are we right to be so negative is there just a lot of political grandstanding going on here? >> as ever, it depends on who you listen to michel barnier yesterday, the chief eu negotiator of brexit, said he did not see significant progress during the last few days of talks. david davis said he had seen some concrete progress one of the big sticking points remains this divorce bill over the british departure from the european union, that brexit bill the europeans put forward methodology in july. the british are not done, over the last few days they advanced a series of legal arguments, gone through the numbers line by line they're not numbers yet. let's listen to

this is something that liam fox, phillip hammond have talked abot over the summer. one by where the uk does maintain access to the single market and customs union for a defined period of time so they avoid a cliff-edge brexit come march 19 today we expect her to spell out the conditions of that short time frame arrangement and then also how much they're willing to pay to continue to have access to the single market the number touted in the media was 20 billion euros that would net out 10 billion euros a year, in line with the net contribution of the uk to the eu budget last year will that be enough? will that constitute enough in terms of the divorce bill that the eu negotiators are looking for? we don't know. hopefully we'll find out later >> hopefully thank you very much for that on that note, let me bring in callum pickering let's kick things around the 2 billion euros, whatever the number will be is that the number for the divorce bill or just for any pay-in to get access to the single market? to me it seems like the media lumps them together. maybe no one has a

a lot about over the summer from people like the chancellor philip hammered but also people like liam fox on the other side of the artand fox who are on the other side of the art and when it comes to brexit —— philip hammond. the arrangement would be similar when we leave the single market. one of the crucial questions is whether the eu will ee, questions is whether the eu will agree, and about the money the uk continues to pay into the coffins of the eu during that time. theresa may is going to say that we will pay our dues —— into the cough is. this could amount to around 20 billion euros over that period and you can see why some in the cabinet like borisjohnson have been unhappy at this idea. in the referendum campaign johnson spoke about at this idea. in the referendum campaignjohnson spoke about taking back control of millions of pounds and it could be now we're heading to and it could be now we're heading to a situation where the uk continues to pay billions for at least a couple of years. the cabinet met this morning and they will be given time before the meeting in order to read t
